Vintage would be awesome. Do you know anyone else? I cant imagine TS turning down the chance to add a class for the vintage guys/gals.

There are a lot of vintage karters around Atlanta. This might be short notice but I can promote it if Jim/AMP will allow. I can be there for sure, if just for some demo laps.

that might increase AMP insurance premiums...some of those old karts are scary...

Not mine..have run at Roebling, Barber, Talledega GP. chrome Molly chassis, Small cube west end engine....much slower and safer than modern TAG and Yamaha kart classes..c_________________"kart racing since 1958, was and still the best bank for the buck in motorsports"

Dr Chip,
Driving a vintage kart at AMP would be like riding an old wooden roller coaster. Lots of fun, but will scare you to death.

Yep! I need some excitement in my life..c

Ps: Ran the transaxle Ford at AMP past Sat before our night race. First time ever at speed. That got my heart beating _________________"kart racing since 1958, was and still the best bank for the buck in motorsports"

Jim-Good point..Yep, I can meet that with the standard west Bend MUFFLER, not the open "Lightning Bolt" exhaust". We used these in 1958 as required for indoor kart races held at the old Cincinnati Gardens, an early venue that hosted pro basketball and hockey.

But to be sure, I will run some sound level measurements,( I have been a licensed audiologist for 38 years now in the State of GA). I will also measure the expansion chamber that I used at Roebling. I was well under their maximum allowable noise level limits.

Thanks for your consideration..c

Update-just checked and their limit it 103 dBA which is significantly higher than AMPs 92 dB.. I will start doing some measurements.

I know that noise levels were a big issue in getting the AMP track approved-I am on it for us vintage guys...c_________________"kart racing since 1958, was and still the best bank for the buck in motorsports"
